Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has offered an injury update ahead of Saturday’s clash with Brighton.
Manchester United take on Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday, looking to get the season back on track, after an indifferent start to the campaign.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Erik ten Hag was asked about the availability of key players.
Defender Lisandro Martinez was on the agenda, amid questions over his fitness.
Lisandro Martinez update
BBC Sport’s Simon Stone reports Lisandro Martinez will be fit, along with Victor Lindelof.
At his press conference, Erik ten Hag responded simply ‘Yes’, when asked if Martinez is available to play.
Martinez’s fitness is an important boost. Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans are United’s back-up centre-backs.
Stone added that it is too soon for Mason Mount to make his return.
